Kill me.
Sponsored
Haven't heard anything from my dealer since last Monday. Got a deposit on a red LE here...Kill me.
@084runnerltd - someone took the crown from us.
Wichita KS. I'm told its still on the train and its being held for a window sticker issue....What state is yours coming to?
Maybe the OP can chime in and explain himself.Why would anyone sign for a car you can't see and take home?
Canât speak for the OP, but can give you my scenario (as I already paid without a car).Maybe the OP can chime in and explain himself.
Awesome. At least your dealer gave you a estimated date. Mine still just says they'll call me asap to sign papers when the car arrives without telling me a delivery date.Canât speak for the OP, but can give you my scenario (as I already paid without a car).
Dealership is 1000 miles from me. I planned to be there for launch day to get my new ride, even though the dealer was unsure if they would have it by then. (I was a little too excited
Stayed in town for a week hoping it would arrive. I ended up booking a flight home and called to let the dealer know that I wasnât going take anymore time off of work and was heading home.
I asked if we could do all the paperwork now, while I was in town, rather than doing everything via email and/or UPS. He said he would check on it and get back to me.
Called back and said if I wanted to I could stop down, do all the paperwork, then, when the car does arrive, send a friend to pick it up. Since I had already planned on paying for the car that week, I had the money sitting in my checking account making close to zero interest...
Figured I would take care of it all while I was in town allowing my buddy to collect the car as soon as it arrives and bring it to get PPF installed.
This is a large respected dealership, my friend is the CFO. I had zero worries about them trying to scam me. Also they sold it to me at MSRP, with other people paying large mark-ups, I was happy to lock-in my MSRP pricing.
After doing some checking, I was informed that I did not need insurance on it until the dealership turned the car over to me or my representative.
Since I paid cash for the car, I am not paying additional interest on a loan. If I would have left it invested in a fixed income investment, it would have been negatively affected by the fedâs recent rate cut. If I had it invested in equities (which I wouldnât have, as I donât feel equites are worth the risk when looking at extremely short-term (a few weeks)), I would have lost quite a bit, as the market has pulled back about 1500 pts.
Long story short, I was in town, had the money sitting in my checking account, wanted to take care of any paperwork in-person, wanted to lock-in MSRP and I was not worried about the dealership scamming me.
Car is set to arrive by the 19th.
